After the tabling of the 2024 budget in Parliament, PwC hosted a budget breakfast the next morning to highlight the analysis and economic impact of the budget, of which four priorities was mentioned.
Leading the presentation was PwC Chief Economist Jeremy Thorpe who said the first priority the government must look at is improve foreign exchange availability.
Thorpe said this is because current foreign exchange restrictions have a significant drag on the PNG economy that suppresses investment and consumption.
